How does the State of Rhode Island (and the NECAP) define/characterize Science Inquiry?
Charaterized in 4 Areas of Scientific Inquiry
Formulating Questions and Hypothesizing
Planning and Critiquing of Investigations
Conducting Investigations
Developing and Evaluating Investigations
Scientific Inquiry allows students to make connections and express their ideas, and provide evidence that they've used scientific thinking from the beginning to the end of the task. Summarize the table on page 4 of the NECAP Guidelines for the Development of Inquiry Tasks.
1. Analyze info from observations, data, or research for the purpose of creating a question,prediction, etc.
2. Construct an argument in support of question/prediction
3. Make and describe observations related to topic
4. Identify evidence that needs to be collected to answer ques.
5. Dev. approach that will invesigate question and include variables.
6. Provide reasoning for using materials and procedures for investigation
7. Follow procedure using equipment/measurements accurately
8. Use accepted methd for organizing/representing data
9. Collect enough data to study relationships
10.Summarize results based on data
11.Analyze data, determine if relevant/irrelevant
12. Use evidence to justify conclusions
13. Communicate how scientific knowledge explains results and proposes further research
Describe and summarize the four "Broad Areas" of inquiry.
Formulating Questions and Hypothesizing 1-3
Planning and Critiquing of Investigations 4-6
Conducting Investigations 7-10
Developing and Evaluating Investigations 11-13
